From a different perspective, one might argue that the club is in serious trouble.All that has really happened is that 

our coach is gone (happens in world football all the time)

the fans have been alienated (we still have a good core support of 6000 turning up to every weekend game)

our players disillusioned (the players look like they care again now that Ricki has left) 

the new owners only looking to profit financially from their tenure (this is just not true. The owners (especially Henry)  love football, and they want to help develop the game in NZ (this is mainly Gareth). Their financial aim is to bring the club into a position where it will make profit, but they have several other aims outside of the finances).

Luckily I am interpreting my statement as depressed off-season raving.As you were

 My responses are in bold above ^^.
